Ray's POV - A Week Later

"Ray, how do I tell you that there's an escaped convict looking for you in the bar?" Chu asks worried.

I get to my feet instantly from my half asleep state and I instantly head into the bar area to see Randy.

I freeze, almost instantaneously. "No. Fuck off and get the fuck out of here." I say as I collect my composure.

Randy looks over at me and he smirks at me.

Randy attempts to grab me, but I kick him in the chest, sending him out the door.

"What the hell? Ray he'd be a good addition to the team, he killed Mizukage." Dabi says shocked.

"Who do you think is her daughter Dabi? Me. This asshole killed my mom, beat, raped and starved me when I was 4 until I was 7." I say to Dabi whose eyes go as wide as saucers.

"Come on Ray, we could be a nice, happy family again." Randy says to me with a smirk as he comes back in, a gun trained on me.

I kick him again and he goes flying, dropping the gun. I unload the gun, tossing it away.

Randy gets up as I follow him outside. I kick him again, out into the alley where he hits a wall, very harshly.

"Now Ray, can't we talk about this?" Randy asks me with a smirk.

"You want to talk? Shocking since every night you'd come back, your version of talk, was beating the shit out of me, telling me to defend myself in the basement, as a 4 year old." I say to Randy and I kick him down the alley where he hits another wall.

"The heros let me out to find you Ray." Randy says to me and he spits on the ground as he gets up. "They're looking for you, they probably followed me." Randy says to me with a smirk.

"Kurogi!" I call and he comes outside.

"Yes Ray Kage?" Kurogi asks me.

"The heros let this asshole out to find me, the chances of them having a tracking device on him is high, everyone needs to desert the place and go to the second location." I say to Kurogi.

"I'll inform the others." Kurogi says and goes inside.

Randy attempts to grab me, but I punch him in the jaw, sending him flying back. "You do not get to touch me asshole. Nobody touches me unless I allow it." I say and I kick him out into a main street.

"Oh no, I thought she would have been scared."

I kick Randy again as hr attempts to touch me. "Your a sorry lowlife and you don't deserve the life you were given, but death would be a reward to you." I say to Randy, my voice even and calm.

"I told you, they followed me." Randy says to me with a smirk.

I stare at Randy and I kick him in the face, sending him flying again and he hits the pavement harshly. "It's not a very hero like thing, to send the abuser, after the kid they abused, regardless if that kid is now a villain. It's still morally inhumane and the hero who did it, should very well be ashamed of themselves. They're not very textbook accurate and their image must be dying cause they can't catch me, and well that sucks for them, cause I have no plans on getting caught. Their image can die, cause obviously, they were never a good hero to begin with." I say as Randy comes at me again, and I kick him in the stomach, and he stumbles back. I then punch him square in the face while he was bent over and his nose breaks upon impact as he goes flying back a few feet.

"Damn bitchs daughter." Randy mutters as he gets up again.

"You don't get to call my mother a bitch after you killed her." I say to Randy and I kick him farther down the street. "I can still remember when Mom used to get giddy to go on a date with you, how she'd be jumping out of her seat in the living room to answer the door. The day of your trip when you two got married, she looked so excited. And then you two came home, and that excitement died as you flipped the switch on us and started beating the both of us. Mom was the number 2 hero, although she was gullible cause she was young, she believed you were a good guy. And that pisses me off. Because you did something to my Mom to prevent her from taking me and running away to safety. And then you killed her one night, and I went to the heros for help, and they couldn't do anything about it, because your a damn good liar, I was in that house, for 3 months after she died, the heros didn't do anything those three months when you beat me, you used my body for money, you starved me, I don't remember there being a single day where I got the chance to rest those three months. Your a sick, twisted guy, forcing a six to seven year old girl, to go through all of that, just so you could have some pocket cash." I say to Randy who glares at me. "And then for 2 years, I rarely used my quirk, or talked for that matter. I was too scared, I was bumped through the foster care system, nobody from my Moms supposed family, thought it'd be a good idea to help me, obviously, since well I'm not there currently. Then All For One took me in, he actually listened to me, the first adult in years, to listen to me, and genuinely wanted to help me. He may have gotten frustrated at times with me, but he never put me back in the foster care system, he never forced me to do anything I did not want to do." I say to Randy. "I was a child who was an easy target to manipulate, but as a kid, regardless whether or not he was a villain, I needed an adult like him to show me morals, show me everything I needed to now, to teach me what the world was actually like, not what you had showed me Randy. All For One undid almost everything that you did to me. Now you as a person, you don't scare me. I've killed so many, who were a lot scarier. And I've also run from guys who actually scare me. Your not on that list. Now the trauma you inflicted upon me, now that scares me, I still hide during thunderstorms because you killed my mom that night, and thunderstorms have always led to something bad for me, that's trauma that I haven't worked out because it gets reinforced every single time there is a thunderstorm." I say to Randy and I kick him again, he goes sliding on the ground.

The heros attempt to grab me, but I lift my hand up and sweep the heros into a wall with water.

"Our quirks, why can't we use our quirks?" A hero asks shocked.

"If you want to live, grovel at my feet and apologize endlessly Randy." I say to him.

Randy shoots my shoulder and I kick his head into a wall.

I glare at Randy, just pissed off. "Kurogi I need my gun." I say and it's teleported to my hand.

I make sure my gun is loaded and I shoot Randy in the shoulder without hesitation.

"You bitch!" Randy yells at me pissed.

"Fuck you asshole. Grovel at my feet, or die." I say as I point my gun at his forehead.

"Ray, you've been shot, you should leave." Kurogi says to me.

I tch quietly and I shoot Randy's thigh so he can't follow me.

Kurogi teleports me to the new safe house and I sit down instantly, my knees incredibly weak.

"What? Your problem would have ended there!" Lu yells at me in protest.

"He gets to live with the knowledge, knowing he can't kill me, and that will piss him off as he can't do anything, death is too sweet of a release for him, he can live with the knowledge knowing I'm someone he can't touch, not anymore, especially after that vow he took when he was arrested." I say to Lu. "He can live, knowing I let him live." I say as I look at Lu.

Kurogi takes care of the bullet wound for me and then I take a few painkillers.

Bluebell sits in front of me on the counter and she buds her head against mine, purring. I pet Bluebell and she purrs louder.

I relax as the pain killers kick in and then I go up to my room where I sit down with Bluebell on the floor.

I sit back against the wall, melting down in aftermath fear. I have my panic attack for about 10 minutes.

"Ray?" Dabi asks outside the door.

"Piss off." I say to him.

"Can't do that." Dabi says to me.

"Leave me alone." I say as I just curl into myself, trying to get my composure.

Dabi comes in and shuts the door behind him.

Dabi sees me on the floor and he grabs my blanket and drapes it over me

"Leave my room." I say to Dabi as firmly as I can muster, but it just sounds broken.

Dabi then picks me up and sets me on my bed carefully. "Nope." Dabi says and he sits next to me.

I pull the blanket over my head and I hide under it, I end crying in fear of Randy.

My anxiety starts running wild and I get held tightly from outside my blanket. The blanket gets moved after a moment by me, cause it was getting stuffy.

I hug Dabi tightly, scared.

"If I was told sooner, I wouldn't have let him step foot in the bar." Dabi says as he rubs my back gently.

My door opens. "Thank god someones with her." Tomura says relieved.

Tomura sits beside us and I'm shaking. "Ray?" Tomura asks me gently.

"All I can think of is those 3, cruel, months." I whisper scared. "Everything before then wasn't nearly as bad as after Mom died." I whimper.

The two sit with me as I basically relive my nightmares all over again.

It's hours when I finally get control of myself again.

"I need something to eat." I say softly and my stomach rumbles.

Tomura rubs my head. "Are you ok now Ray?" Tomura asks me.

I nod. "Somewhat." I say to Tomura who nods.

"Alright, well you need to unpack, dinner will be ready in an hour." Tomura says to me as gets up.

"Ok." I say to Tomura.

I unpack my stuff into my new room as Dabi sits with me.

When I'm done, we go downstairs for dinner.

I eat quietly as Bluebell sleeps on my lap.

"Ray are you alright?" DadFO asks me.

"I'm cringing heavily." I say to DadFO.

"Why?" DadFO asks me.

"I got shot in the shoulder. Why else would I be cringing? I never get hurt." I say to DadFO.

"You got shot?" Tomura asks unamused.

"Yes." I say to Tomura.

"I'm gonna kill that asshole." Tomura says annoyed.

"I shot him twice, once in the shoulder, once in the thigh, I'm not letting that asshole die until he regrets everything in life. Even if he begs." I say to Tomura.

"Your never gonna get him to regret anything." Tomura says to me.

"Either way, death is too good for him, it's too easy." I say to Tomura

Tomura nods. "We'll come up with a plan." Tomura says to me and he honestly just looks slightly pissed off.

I fist bump Tomura. "I was gonna take a nap before all this happened, so I'll be going to bed now. Thanks for the food Kurogi." I say as I pick up Bluebell who purrs in surprised.

"Be careful with your shoulder." DadFO says to me.

"I will." I say to DadFO and I head up to my room with Bluebell.

I lock my door and I play some video games for a while as Bluebell sleeps on my lap.

My door gets pick locked and in comes Dabi.

I look at him from my position on the floor. "Hello to you too." I say to Dabi who freezes.

"Have you just been playing video games?" Dabi asks me.

"Yes. Wanna join?" I ask Dabi as I move over.

"You should be resting." Dabi says to me.

"I sleep on the shoulder that I got shot in. That'll feel nice later. Now join me." I say as I pat the floor next to me while getting a second controller.

Dabi sighs, but he joins me.

We play Mario World for a while and I get most of the levels along with the bonus stuff while Dabi constantly dies.

"How are you so good at this?" Dabi asks me.

"This was the first video game and console that DadFO got for me, it was for my 9th Birthday. I've been playing this game for 8 years now." I say to Dabi who nods.

"Your 17?" Dabi asks me.

"Yeah? How old are you?" I ask him.

"24." Dabi says to me.

"You could buy me alcohol." I say to Dabi.

"I'm not buying you alcohol." Dabi says to me.

"Why not?" I ask him.

"Cause I'm not gonna be the reason why you get drunk." Dabi says to me.

I stare at Dabi for a long moment. "But I'm 17, teenagers like me should have their fun like that." I say to Dabi.

"I'm not buying you alcohol so you can make a mistake." Dabi says to me.

I stare at him with a slight pout. "What's the real reason you won't buy me alcohol?" I ask Dabi.

Dabi stares at me for a long moment. "Because your gonna do something you might regret when your drunk." Dabi says to me.

I stare at him for a long moment. "I rarely regret my decisions." I say to Dabi. "Are you scared you'll take advantage of me?" I ask Dabi as I lean over to him.

Dabi stares at me. "Why would you assume that?" Dabi asks me, unsettled.

I look him up and down and then I look at his face again. "Cause I know you like me. That's why." I say to Dabi who just stares at me.

"We're leaving the conversation at this, fuck you right now and your god video game skills, go to bed. I'm leaving now." Dabi says as he leaves.

I smirk amused and Bluebell meows in laughter.

I continue to play video games and eventually I get some sleep.
